Speaking to Sky Sports, O'Connell said: "It probably is the last time you will see me at Thomond Park in a Munster jersey.

"As I have said before, the summer will be the time for making those decisions, but it is probably the last time I will play here for Munster."

Ospreys threatened to end O'Connell's Munster spell on a sour note as they fought back from 21-8 down and Josh Matavesi thought he had won the match for the visitors in the last minute when he crossed the line, only for Rhys Webb to be penalised for a knock-on in the build-up.

O'Connell was left particularly thankful for the television match official's decision, explaining: "I thought I had missed the tackle that had cost us the game.

"I was fairly sure it was a knock-on so I was running back praying that the referee would go back to the TMO and check. I was delighted when I saw it was a knock-on.

"It is a strange feeling at the moment - we did a lot of things really well but then shot ourselves in the foot completely."
